Phoenix: Ech, can't you settle this with a fistfight like a normal person?
-Phoenix takes out a large lead pipe and breaks it over Magnus's head.-

Channah: Wha? Oh. ... Ohh. Yeah. Huh. That must be them, then. The - whoevers. Must be going to another region again, then. Wonder where.
-they watch the airship zoom away-
There is no disdain in nature, there is no humiliation.

Anna 247: <Celica can fly!>
Celica: <I'm not carrying all of you.>
Somewhere
-Bonfire should get a call-
Contact Me!
Bonfire: Hm. A stolen crate of my cookies, only crumbs remaining. No culprit in sight. Only evidence remaining is a whip and a stetson hat.
So two questions:
First, who did this?
And second, why was it Rick?
-she answers-
Bonfire: Ahem, I have a brand image to maintain.
-she answers-
There, was that so hard? Hello?

Revali set down his tea, <Follow me. I'll take you to the trial. Since you have experience.>
Revali got up and the Snorunt opened a passage in the office.
The Gengar looked over everyone, <Where you planning on heading next?>
Jester entered the castle and slumped down in his throne, the castle was empty, Gunny and Kanny were off somewhere in the castle getting treasure.
And here Jester sat, watching the Adventure Parties, he felt bored, and slightly hungry, as if that was possible for a glitch. You know what this place needed? Pizza! A whole lot of pizza!
Jester reached offscreen and pulled out a phone, tucking it into his shoulder he dialed for a pizza place, which one didn't matter.
He chuckled a bit as the tone dialed, the pizza ordering had begun.
"Yes I can hold."
"I'd like to place a order for Delivery"
"Yes."
"Jester."
"I think I'm on Hyul Island... The OU."
"Yeeeeess that's it! I'd like a laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarge-"
"What?"
"Huh..."
"EXTRA THICK! Thirty minutes or it's free? EXCELLENT!"
"AAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Jester's laughter reverberated right through the castle.
They hung up... Jester frowned and slumped.
A doorbell rang, and he went right to the front gates of the Palace. Jester smiled and opened it, revealing... Himself.
"Weeeeeeell hehehehehey there handsome!" "Well hello yourself! I got a pizza for ya!" "Awesome! Though I swear if there is pineapple on any of them I will destroy you." "Ya probably won't, since we're same entity!" "Oh yeah!"
Jester laughed as he took the pizza boxes, only for the other Jester to stop laughing, and suddenly shift form. A one eyed, 2D cyclops in a bowler hat and coat stood there.
"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU FELL FOR IT!"
"Verita! What the hell!"
"ANY EXCUSE TO GET OUT! SEE YA SUCKER! GUESS WHAT! ONE OF THE PIZZAS IS MADE WITH NOTHING BUT PINEAPPLE! BUT YOU WON'T KNOW UNTIL YOU TRY IT! LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATER!"
The other being vanished, Jester grumbled, "Hey Writer. Stop messing around with the fabric of reality and let me eat already!"
Sorry, "No you're not."
Jester grumbled and headed back into the palace, the smell of pizza filling the hallways.

Shaun: "Mmm. My Fly HM's back at the boat."
-He glances at the Gengar.-
Shaun: "Colton and Phaz managed to take down the Groudon by themselves. Just two of them and their teams. So...I was thinking two groups. I'd lead one to the Grand Palkia, and Pent could take another group somewhere else. I think it would make sense for it to be me, Daydre, and Hyp and then Pent, Spimne, and you three.
-He indicates Anna 247, Duolis, and Celica.-
"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"
Jester calmly sits there... takes a deep inhale, sets his pizzas down, and then smiles.
"When I find out what pizza is the one made of pineapple... and when I find Gunny... I'm gonna force her to eat it all..." he said in a serene understanding tone.
Jester sat down, picked out a pizza, finding his favorite, the deluxe meat lovers, with six different kinds of meat. He didn't even know there were that many kinds of meat!
He took a slice, took one bite, and instantly his mood dropped. He had found the pineapple one...

-There is... a shimmer-
-A pulse-
-A wave, like the shockwave of an explosion spreads out from a point just in front of the Pokemon Center-
-Then there is a blur of black and the street practically explodes as something blasts through the ground-
Templar Base
-The entire building shakes, lights flickering-
-A thud-
-A thud-
-A crash as something punches through the ceiling-
-Standing in the debris and dust, from a hole above the room an otherworldly creature stands-
-It is about 12 feet tall, lithe, almost a skeleton-
-It is pitch black and its surface makes no sense, from one angle it looks almost like felt, and with a slight shift it has the appearance of a cut gem, and yet from another angle it appears to be a hole in space, infinite in depth-
-From its lower back, two tails, almost like coat tails whip around and emanate smoke, as if burning-
-Its head is an elongated, pitch black and otherwise featureless shape, with two burning, cursed red eyes pour over the room-
-Without a word it thrusts its hands forward, a thin blue line spreads in the air, as it begins to tear the fabric of space in the middle of the room open-
"If there is no way to win, I will simply force a way."

-If Shaun were awake, he'd be letting out a string of Unovan and Sinnohan curses. But he's not awake. In fact, Tsunami has set him against a wall.-
Ace: <Interesting. This doesn't seem to be of our world. An Ultra Beast? Or something else bleeding into our world?>
Achille: <Mon amie, perhaps focus on what it is after we deal with it?>
Ace: <That seems a good course of action.>
Tsunami: <Don't you recognize it, Ace?>
Ace: <Should I?>
Tsunami: <Konikoni. When you were human.>

We're in no shape to face it, especially when we don't have the Stormchaser.

-With a yank, the air is split open, and a hole leading deep to an undefined space can be seen-
-Several creatures surge forward as if to escape and are immediate incinerated, the black specks being drank into pitch creature, though a few creatures slip by and immediately bolt up through the holes the black figure made, a jellyfish like creature, a few pinwheels and a some other undefined speedy shapes-
-After a few moments, the air and hole in space wavers and closes, and the room begins to dim, the floor begins to wither and decay, it would not be inaccurate to say that the room looked as if it were aging or dying, or being drained of vitality-
-The pitch figure looks towards the assembled team-
Tragedy: ⦕I am Tragedy. The first Shard of Calamity. This is a declaration. A threat to all who wander this star. I am done gathering strength in the shadows. You world's time is running out.⦖
-The air shudders, as a wave of inky black engulfs and everyone present feels weakened-

You're shivering. Are you afraid?
Pianis: Okay, so where could they be?
Siren: <High places.>
Pianis: ...Right. This is still Fortis we're talking about.
-Fortis(?) has dragged Mezzo over to here-
-she's also swapped outfits; she wears a black dress trimmed with red, and is holding a scythe shaped like an Yveltal claw-
Mezzo: Love the aesthetic. Don't love that you're trying to kill me.
Fortis(?): I want you to understand, Piano. What I'm doing... it really is for the best. I know you won't believe that, but it's true.
-...-
Fortis(?): Look down there, at the world below. There's so much wrong with it... hatred, oppression, corruption, violence. So much suffering. I want to end it all, and create a new world with none of that.
Mezzo: Meaning you want to kill everything.
Fortis(?): Isn't it the simplest way to end their pain?
Do not fear power... fear those who wield it.

Ever: ...Well that's not good. Okay, I'm with Tagg, we should get out of here...

PEFE!Every: Wait, we need to at least figure out what its deal is...
Ever: Do you remember, in your text history, that I asked you about how to deal with an enemy using time manipulation against us?
PEFE!Every: ...Oh.
Ever: Yeah, we're not fighting it.
PEFE!Every: No, the idea my parents gave was good. Let's do it.
Ever: Um, we're not going to—
PEFE!Every: Cytosol, Future Sight!
Cytosol: <...Let the record show this is a bad idea.>
Ever: ...Well, Breeze, you too I guess.
Breeze: <Right...>
-his eyes flicker weakly-
PEFE!Every: In theory, that will crystallize the time stream to prevent any warping, at least until the attacks come around.
Ever: Well, that's a— ...

-He starts scrolling through Omniband options, and transforms into something that can slip out of Vierr's grip.-
Debug: <...>
Vierr: ...You clearly didn't think this through. Now come on and let's get the hell out of here.

-The air around Tragedy shimmers, and for two brief moments, it's body seems to take on a single consistency-
-Tragedy looks down on itself-
Tragedy: ⦕... Annoying. But irrelevant.⦖
-It pauses for a moment as two bursts of Psychic energy wrack its form-
-It looks unharmed, but there is no indication of time warping-
⦕So then, you first.⦖
-It holds one of its taloned hand out towards PEFE!Every and Breeze-
-PEFE!Every and Cytosol are encased in a shimmering octahedron which floods with a multitude of flames and a veritable storm of lightning-
-The same sort of shimmering octahedron materializes around Breeze, and fills with an inky black substance. After several moments, the glowing prison cracks and shatters, spilling forth an unquantifiable amount of darkness that splashes on to the ground-
⦕... Running? Amusing. But I am just getting started.⦖
-It begins leisurely strolling down after the fleeing peoplemons, ignoring Ever and Every-
-The corridor darkens, and ices over, as then several small meteors streak down after the escapees, on impact detonating with horrific force and producing large obscuring clouds of smoke-

Colt’s almost casual saunter was inexplicably brought to a halt, feeling as if the air was drowning him in some dark power that Obscura only paled to.
He said nothing, but did know where the biggest source of it all was. Sunny and 9-Volt came out, both of them the only ones brave-slash-stupid enough to examine it.
9-Volt felt the power, but Sunny was the only ine who wanted to fix it. She attempted to bless the ground before Colt ran off, chasing after the source, his own Obscura almost being drowned by the new darkness.
He felt his mind putting out swears and song lyrics D.C. would take a step back to. “This is a fate no one - not even Ghetsis - derserves,” he reasoned, but no conscious grunts would hear him, as he was now wearing his scarf.
9-Volt, Sunny and Talbain looked at the scene in terror, but said nothing, instead letting a Bug Buzz and Stone Edge speak for them as Sunny fired off a few more Embers while putting some power behind another Psychic Terrain.
