Team Iron RIP House

-Heracles tears at the spot where Lucius and Shard dissapeared, only to find nothing-

-He hears noise above and below and starts tearing away toward the source of either-

---

-Gabe may run into Rose and Megan-

Iron Base

Rose: Yeah, it's a lot of things with a lot of uncertain question marks attached—

-She yelps and staggers as the base shifts.-

Rose: Look, let's talk about that later. Something bad's happening.

???: Whatever it is, you're not going to escape it. Not this time.

-Rose freezes. Behind her, in a white t-shirt and sweatpants that one would not normally be a telltale sign of someone with a grudge, is someone with a grudge.-

Dasher: <I don't know, that looks scary. Is the door unlocked? Can we->

-the unsteady structure underneath them quakes and rocks-

Dasher: <oOOH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO> -takes off down the hall like a bullet-

Manasseh: <Bazz az bang-bang! Razhar! Razhar!> -runs after Dasher-

Lewis: -hurrying down hallways- Manasseh? Manasseh? Dasher! Where are you?

There is no disdain in nature, there is no humiliation.

Omega nods, before firing two rockets at a nearby wall and flying out the hole into the sunshine, "BASE EVACUATED. RETURNING TO SHUTTLE."

-they feel the base rumbling-

Megan: Yeah, we should—

-they hear the vengeful wrath rippling through the air, and the patter of approaching footsteps, and freeze-

-and look up to see...-

-something that at this point no longer really looks like a Sceptile sticks its head out of the bag-

-then notices Scarlette and retreats again-

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Team Iron Auxiliary Base

-Aulstyne blinks and pulls herself off of the ground as dust and chili powder drifts down. A hole in the wall where the door once was is all that remains of the intruders.-

Aulstyne: Dammit...

-Her earpiece erupts with reports of structural failures all over the base, and Raines is shouting how his UB is starting to falter.-

Aulstyne: This is Vice Director Aulstyne to all Team Iron members! The base is lost! Evacuate immediately!

---

-In the guts of the base, where the bottom of the structure hit the rock, the isolation container cracks before bursting open from the strain, releasing the anisthetic gas and the contents therein.-

Alolan Seas, The Red Wings

-A lightning bolt strikes the airship, causing the pirates to cry out in horror. They quickly grapple back on board.-

Balthier: Sorry, Cid. I'll have to take a rain check.

-He disappears in a flash of smoke and light. The pirate ship disconnects its hooks, and quickly tries to put as much distance away from the storm as it can.-

Previa: OH YEAH! OH YEAH! WHOSE THE MAN?! I AM! I AM! Oh shit sorry Zrone. Uh. One second. HEY! Someone got any rubbing alcohol?!

Unnamed Island

-Laambo sees Heracles and roars in response.-

Laambo: {FINALLY! A WORTHY OPPONENT!}

-He pulls his strange aura sword out and gives a hefty swing at the Kyurem, the air around it screeching.-

Alola

-A portion of sea begins to boil.-

-The grass lies flat in reverence.-

-The trees bow in deference.-

-The waves dance like horses on parade.-

-The islands give their respect as the Mother returns to put her house in order.-

Shaun: "Come on, come on..."

-Suddenly a Guzzlord falls on the base.-

ShaunWulf: "We're leaving.>

-Beowulf teleports the group outside...where they see Laambo.-

Achille: <Merde...>

Shaun: "Sonuva bitch."

-Ace just gives the longest, most resigned sigh in his life.-

Ace: <Let me formulate an attack plan...>

Tsunami: <Call out Lady Spaceship and beat the hell out of that Guzzlord. Just saved you time.>

Ace: <Why is your plan always "hit it until the problem's fixed"?>

Tsunami: <It usually works.>

-Shaun and Beowulf look at the Guzzlord.-

Beowulf: <I can't help here. Dark-type.>

-Shaun nods and prepares to recall Beowulf.-

Beowulf: <Wait. Remove the wall in your mind. Listen.>

-Shaun does so. At first he only feels Beowulf and himself. Then his team. Then the various J-Team members.-

~More. There's more. Follow.~

-Shaun's conciousness melds with Beowulf's, and he feels something more. Strange beings. The Guzzlord, for one. A Kyureum. And something angry.-

~I'm returning now. But something else is there.~

-As Beowulf returns to his ball, Shaun feels a drain of energy and becomes lightheaded. After it passes, he notices Heracles.-

Shaun: "Huh."

-He grabs a Beast Ball and tosses it in his hand a few times before releasing a Celesteela.-

Celena: {Oh, what's going on?}

-She spies Laambo.-

Celena: {Hey! You! Guzzlord!}

Shaun: "I really hope someone brought a Fairy-type...I ought to evolve Jamie."

"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"

Team iron base

-"Homor leeches forward as the base shakes"-

Homor: damn it, this whole place is coming down... Hey!

-"Homor sees Dasher and Manasseh running and hurries to catch up with them"-

Let's all have fun

Alolan Seas, The Red Wings

Zrone: -Angrily blinking- [MY HYDRAULICS FEEL LIKE THEY'VE BEEN ICED OR GUNKED UP WITH A HIGH SCHOOL'S WORTH OF CHEWING GUM FIX ME]

"If there is no way to win, I will simply force a way."

 Black City 

A wh-Shrugs and follows-

-Distressing Noises-

".. Well, something tells me it's time to Get The Fuck Out. Rowan, come back! We're going!"

Rowan lopes over and Daydre recalls him. She then runs off towards the exit.

Elsewhere, Base

Marco bails after Gabe leaves.

Marco: "-sigh- It's a shame he was on the other team. He was kinda cute. Well, whatever. Time to get out."

-The pixels in Paula's eyes f̧̨̎͌͐ͯ͊̋ļ̸ͪ̽̓͒͗i̽̿͝ćͤ̑̓ͭ͂̀̚k̈́̅̑͏̴eͪ̄ͣ͏͞rͤͣ̂͠.-

Paula: ...Oh. Oh. Oh dear. I don't wanna miss Meltdown Two Point Oh, that's for sure.

-She rolls her swivel chair back, turns around, and heads out the door.-

Iron Base

-The walls creak and groan. Neither Rose nor Scarlette, nor Gus at her side, notice Gabe or Ever behind them. Pixie at the very least goes up to sniff the newcomers, but keeps quiet.-

Scarlette: Paula.

Rose: Scarlette, we need to all get out of here. You heard the broadcast, we need to escape.

Scarlette: That's a real shame, isn't it? I'm sure you'd love to run away once again and just keep getting off scot-free!

-Rose gives her a worried look.-

Rose: ...That poison's getting to you way too much. If we stay here — if you stay here, you'll die!

Scarlette: Which is why I can't let you get out of this!

-Rose pauses.-

Rose: ...You're not listening.

Scarlette: What's there to listen to? You—

Rose: Why won't you fucking listen!?

-And she backhands Scarlette across the face.-

-Everyone's eyes go wide.-

Channah: -looking through some wares- It's pretty standard stuff- Uh. -holds up a pokeball with a price tag of 10,000 pokeyen- 0_o What, are they saving up to buy a bike?

Dasher: -zooms way past them and disappears down a three-way corridor-

Manasseh: <Graaaagh!> -picks a path at random and scurries down it while ceiling tiles fall everywhere-

-luckily, it happens to be an exit-

Riot: <Okay, that's enough. Lewis? Get us out. Now.>

Lewis: I can't, I -

Riot: <Alright, I guess we'll just die.>

Pupitar: <.........>

Lewis: -face crumples and he turns around to take what remains of his team outside-

There is no disdain in nature, there is no humiliation.

Team Iron Auxillary Base

-Gabe just winces-

Plauge Doktor: <...THIS JUST GOT HEAVY.>

-Heracles takes the sword strike and roars in agony, but it doesn't stop him from scooping Laambo up in a Dragon Claw and suplexing him into the base's roof-

Iron Base Vengeful Earth

-Megan, Pippy and Vee watch the exchange in confusion and worry-

Megan: -taking Pollen's ball from Pippy- O-okay, start with Screens for rubble, maybe we can Dive everyone out of here, maybe flood the area and push—

-Rose slaps Scarlette, and all their planning stops-

No mind to think. No will to break.

 Black City 

-Looking at the obviously overpriced Poké Ball-

...This can't be real. I ought to destroy this stall just for the audacity of price scalping.

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

Iron Base

-Gus snarls, but it is quickly met with a glare from Rose.-

Rose: Back off, Gus, I'm trying to knock some sense into your trainer!

-Gus's expression remains tense, but he stays in place. Scarlette rubs her cheek in shock.-

Rose: Listen, you idiot. This base is about to come down on everyone here. You try to force us to stay, and you kill a lot more than just me. Your team is gonna be caught in this. That blood is on your hand, and you dying as well won't scrub it off. So get your fucking head out of your ass and come with us. Got it?

-Scarlette just sorta stares. What was once an expression of rage has been replaced by one of pure fear.-

Rose: All right, good. You've got time to be stubborn later. Come on.

-She turns around and stomps toward the exit. Scarlette stumbles after her, still processing everything.-

Vee: <Okay yeah let's get outta here>

Megan: -nods meekly-

-they rush after Rose and Scarlette-

No mind to think. No will to break.

Team Iron RIP Base

-Gabe and Plague Doktor quietly follow-

Channah: -goes further away and picks up something at random- Luxury Ball. 50,000 ₽. I could buy five pokeballs for that.

Lo: <Is this normal for Black City? Simply wild.>

There is no disdain in nature, there is no humiliation.

Artoria and Mordred look at each other.

Artoria: <That sounded bad.>

Mordred: <We... should find the Tapu before we find out what it was.>

Artoria: <Agreed.>

Tamamo: "..."

Masako: <That's not a good sign.>

Tamamo: "We're finding the Lurantises and getting out of here. You two come with." -They go running off-

Jenkins and Marie look at each other, look at the base falling apart around them and get up and follow after Tamamo.

Jenkins: "We can probably-"

Masako headbutts him. <Or, run first, think about trying to escape when the world's not falling apart around you!>

Marie: "... The fox yelped at us and I don't know what it was saying." -Masako blasts her heels with ice. "EEEEP"

Masako: <Right most people can't understand 'mons but KEEP MOVING>

Marie: "ANGRY FOX ANGRY FOX!"

---

The groups meet up.

Tamamo: "Good, you two! We're getting out of here☆"

And Tamamo -blips- everyone out.

All are significantly abnormal in a normal world... All are significantly normal in an abnormal world.

Team irons base

-"Homer sees Manasseh and Dasher disappear down different hallways."-

Homer: Damn it, where did they go?

-"suddenly the base shakes more, sending more stones down"-

Anubis, barks loudly: <we need to leave now>

Homer: all right, nap times over.

-"Homer throws out Zagerus, who's still passed out"-

Homer: Oh come on, wake up!

-"Homer begins slapping Zags face, and Anubis bites the psychic types arm. At most they get a slight twitch but nothing more."-

-"Morrigans eyes light up, and she digs through Homers bag, pulling out a soda"-

Mor: <I'm sorry I can't be any help, but... but this might>

-"Homer eyes the soda resting on the little Misdruveas head, then figures out what she wants him to do. Homer poor's the caffinated drink down the Kadabras throat"-

Homet: OK Zagreus, if you can hear me, we need to teleport, NOW!"-

-"Zags eyes shoot wide open"- Zagreus: <SODA>

-"A blinding light erupts from the psychic type, enveloping him and everything around him"-
