"An opening..! Wasn't expecting that but it works out in my favor.."

Daydre turns to Huli-Jing.

"Time to go all out. I guess.."

The Persona nods, and Daydre gets the distinct feeling that she would be grinning if the mask weren't in the way.

Huli-Jing rushes forward and hurls one of her knives at Seiryu. The knife itself isn't going to do much damage, but the pulse of darkness that bursts out of the blade when it lands probably will.

-Maggie will probably see a dark-skinned young man with red hair watching some Marowak.-

"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"

J-Con Backstage

Susan: Guess so, but that's-

-Latias practically jumps forwards and smiles-

Latias: I can do that!

Susan: Yep. Should I go get some food while you two jam?

Realm of HnK, Past

'Ey, another upgrade! Seems the threat of the death of a friend and the destruction of the world has a habit of making people step up.

-Akami takes the opportunity to use another Giga Impact, this time on the stunned summon-

Oof, careful! That's draining me too...

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

-Masako notices said young man-

Masako: <That him?>

Maggie: "Looks like it..."

-to the young man- "Oh, hey, is your name Kiawe?"

Angelica: <Sure, yeah! Thanks, [Latias' Stage Name]!>

-Claws and blades rip, charges pummel, beams erupt, and blasts burst around the azure dragon dealing loads of damage as HnK!Psyche screams in pain at the feedback.-

-Mendel contacts Joseph, Daydre and Mondo through their accessories.-

Mendel: As soon as Hi-no-Kagustuchi changes his persona, Mondo and Joseph need to turn to their right and use Metronome and Anything strong against Fighting-types. Daydre needs to—

Mondo: <Can't I just Moonblas—>

Mendel: Trust me. Daydre turn to your left and use Taunt!

-A yellow, Hard Light Button appear in front of Mendel, who grins in response.-

Mendel: Incoming support! WE CAN DO THIS!

-Mendel mashes the button causing balls of energy to streak at the Contractors, granting each one a energy boost.-

Moral Support! All allies' speed rose!

Mondo: <If you insist...>

Hnk!Psyche: I don't know how... But you've gotten better... Change! Inugami!

-Seiryu vanishes as HnK!Psyche Once again Flash Steps away from her current position.-

-Tukuyomi turns to his right as he swings his sword like a Pendulum before the sword disappears.-

-A long, white Meinshao with a black head appears and uses Protect...-

Tsukuyomi's Metrome became Hyperspace Hole!

-... Only for Tsukuyomi's sword to appear inside the Protect and slashing Inugami in the back causing the Protect to fall be fore reappearing in Tsukuyomi's grip.-

Mondo: <I can get used to that.>

HNK Battle

-Joseph remains mannequin-still, eyes wide, as Xochipilli turns to his right and plays a lightning-quick arpeggio on the flute, a Dazzling Gleam emanating from it-

Ro Hn K

Daydre turns to her left, Huli-Jing following suit. The Persona lifts one of her knives and makes a beckoning motion at Inugami.

off the shits

-By the time Huli-Jing turned, HnK!Psyche had already raised his hand and screeched...-

HnK!Psyche: Change! Kaiwan!

-A Starmie with a Mr.Mime's head for the front star appears ready to use Recover, until it sees Huli-Jing's enraging taunt.-

-Now unable to do anything bit attack, HnK!Psyche's eye on his pained face is twitching as the sixth layer of the magic circle aligns and Satan begin clawing at the barrier with its many clawed hands.-

14 Shifts until all is lost!

Between Route and Route 8:

Filros: So it's harder to make one way than the other. Earphone connected to a central processor? I mean, you'd have to deal with the delay and all the connection issues, but as long as there aren't too many persons connected it could work to get preliminary field results until the miniaturization issue is solved. *Going probably too close to the throath to observe the translator* I've dabbled a bit in those studies -not the mechanics, actually, I can understand the theory quite well but I'm lost when it comes to actually build things. It'd be interesting to meet that friend of yours, one day. *Straightening up* So, that's your job? Inventor?

Brooklet Hill, past

-Lana strikes the Z-Pose-

Contact Me!

Kiawe: "Yes, I am Kiawe, Trial Captain for the fire trial. I trust that's what you are here for?"

"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"

Maggie: "Yup, that's what we're here for!"

Kiawe: "Very well then. You'll need to watch the Marowak perform three dances, then point out the difference. Are you ready?"

"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"

Maggie: "Yup!"

Masako: <Yeah, let's go.>

' Kiawe": "Let's begin."

-The Marowak dance and pose like this.-

' Kiawe": "Now, watch again."

-The Marowak dance again, ending in this pose.-

' Kiawe": "Now, what was the difference?"

"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"

Somewhere in the Sinnoh Mountains

-Deziree taps her foot as the crazed man finishes his latest tirade at Mobius.-

Deziree: I will ask you. Again. What. Is. The School? Answer to my satisfaction or I'll let him discuss quantum entanglement again.

Orllof: THE TRUTH! THE FUTURE! THE SCHOOL IS MAKING THE HOMO SUPERIOR!

-Deziree blinks.-

Deziree: Excuse me?

Orllof: I will not continue until you allow me a question in return!

-Deziree blinks. After days of interrogation, he had never asked such a thing.-

Deziree: ... Fine.

Orllof: You claim to be a scientist! Who is your science for?

-Deziree's mind stalls.-

Deziree: ... What?

Orllof: Who. Is your science. For? You want to unravel the world around you. For whom?

-Deziree taps her chin. She turns, and walks to the other side of the cottage while the crazed old man smiles in the glory of verbal victory.-

Maggie: "The Marowak in center has their head lifted up!"

Somewhere in the Sinnoh Mountains

-Deziree steps back to her captive.-

Deziree: My family.

Orllof: ... Is that so?

Deziree: Look at me. I may not have given birth yet, but I have a daughter. She is learning how the world works, and I want to give her the right answers, and let her ask the right questions. I want to make sure that, if I can't keep her safe, that she can at least keep herself safe. And for that I need to know: What. Is. The. School?

-The ragged man looks down at the table in front of him.-

Orllof: You say the School is after her. That must mean you found her abandoned somewhere, right?

Deziree: ... Yes. Explain how you knew that.

-Orllof takes in a breath, slowly and deliberately.-

Orllof: It's a common tactic for instructors, the Teachers of the school, to leave certain students, alone and without resources, in old, decommissioned facilities. Because of how the School operates, all of these facilities become extremely hostile to any sort of life after being abandoned.

Deziree: Why?

Orllof: As a test. If a Student lacks the psychic powers to stay alive long enough for recovery, the entire Class is... liquidated.

-Deziree's determination is the only thing that keeps her from vomiting.-

Deziree: Why? What's the endgame? You mentioned Homo Superior earlier.

Orllof: The philosophy of the School is that the only way for humanity to continue to advance socially, economically, and scientifically, is for each stratus of humanity to be specially bred to their task.

Deziree: ... Like insects.

Orllof: Yes and no. Not to the point of such extreme biological divergence or the reliance on a single individual. That's why each set of test subjects, Students, are made in batches, Classes. They want to make a true oligarchy, in order to avoid the Master/Slave conundrum.

DR. MOBIUS!: ~The theory that stagnant masters will be overthrown by the dynamic subjects that toil for them.~

Orllof: The same. By forcing the highest stratus of society to constantly compete, it will keep the balance of society in check. At the cost of occasional backstabbing and wasting of resources.

Deziree: Where are they taking these children from? Are they being taken from orphanages? Are they being cloned?

-Orllof shakes his head.-

-He gives a ghastly chuckle.-

Orllof: Oh how wrong you are...

-Deziree's eyebrows furrow.-

Deziree: What do you mean?

Somewhere in the Sinnoh Mountains

-Deziree slams her hand against the table.-

Deziree: Answer me!

-Orllof laughs at the joke only he sees.-

The Academy

-Various machines play a simple tune of science and creation as Cs, Gs, Ts and As dance across the screen.-

Somewhere in the Sinnoh Mountains

Deziree: Where. Are these children coming from? WHERE!?

-Orllof laughs histerically.-

---

-The machinery reaches a peak as the conductor, a tall machine in the center of the room, begins to hum.-

---

-Deziree sticks her freeze ray to the laughing man's temple.-

---

-The tall machine sings a most twisted song as the most delicate instruments known to man go to work.-

---

Orllof: HAHAHAHA! DON'T YOU SEE?! The School does not want to breed the next step in human evolution...

---

-The machine hisses and steams as oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus are laid down, with traces of chlorine, sodium, sulfur, magnesium, and potassium added for good measure.-

---

Orllof: They want to make them.

---

-The machines click and hum as their song comes to an end, and the body of a six year old prodigy, made from the finest genomes dating back to ancient Illusio, rests in her new tank.-

-In her office, the Principal looks down from her window.-

-She smiles.-

Kiawe: "Huh~ amazing! Now, come, Marowak!"

Marowak: <Raagghhh!>

-With its battle cry, the Marowak rushes forward with a Shadow Bone at the ready.-

"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"

-Masako is struck by the Shadow Bone, taking a bit of damage-

Masako: <Ngh...>

Maggie: "Alright, go for a Rock Blast!"

-Masako nods, then she shoots a series of rocks at the Marowak-

-The Marowak swings its bone around, diverting the first two rocks, but three more hit, severly damaging it.-

Marowak: <Take this!>

-They launch their bone at the Roggenrola.-

"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"

Maggie: "Brace for it!"

-Masako manages to brace herself for the first blow, but is a little less prepared for the returning one as it strikes her in the back of the head-

Masako: <Whew... kinda winded...>

-She shoots out some more Rocks-

Marowak: <Nyyaagh!>

-It faints.-

Kiawe: "Outstanding! Marowak was so pleased that they had to battle you! Now, for the next dance!"

-Another Marowak takes the place of the first while Kiawe heals the first Marowak.-

Kiawe: "Now, pay attention..."

-The Marowak dance beforw ending on this position.-

Kiawe: "Once more..."

-The dance and pose are repeated, except now a Hiker is standing in the middle of the Marowaks.-

Kiawe: "The difference?"

"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"

Maggie: "That would be the Hiker!"
