As the group raced into the Airport and to the Jet, Silas took a moment to think before responding, "I'm a astronaut. So a minute at best. I do have airmasks in the Jet in case of a hull breach though."
~Arceus do you astronauts plan for everything?~
Silas recalls Hacks, "Sorry buddy. But we need you in one piece for now."
like christ, but with more nails
Channah: Yeah. Lava eel sounds neat, though.
-??? are we still here? did we camp on a volcano?-
There is no disdain in nature, there is no humiliation.
-Blitz's phone has been busy-
-As has his almost unused E-mail-
...
-And then gore-
-Fortunately, all the little mon are either out of the room or in their balls-
Mew!Blitz: <If I know the J-team, than almost literally everyone who isn't ignoring their electronics today is about to descend en-masse on this Chaos thing>
-The rookie legendary is laying on a bed staring at the ceiling-
<Which either means it's either about to be very dead... Or if it's wounds cause infectious possession, we could be in a lot of trouble>
........
<Sakura was probably right to quit the J-team for a normal life while she could. I'd hate to see how Hikari takes this>
-Sigh-
-Well, look who's back from Hoenn?-
-It's Tori, and she doesn't bother saying anything when she enters the room. She just goes straight for a Heiden hug-
Dunsparce Cloud
-Ever stares at the screen, taking a while to process the words-
To: J-Team
From: Ever
Its limits are hard to gauge, hence the general warning. Whenever it was copying something to fight either the Bisharp or myself, it relied on its natural weaponry to engage the other, so I'm hoping it's a one-at-a-time thing. But that seems dangerous to assume.
To: J-Team
From: Every Memito
Hoenn Route 114.
Amanita: How did you?
PEFE!Every: Cross-checked everything PEFE would track, checked for overlap, dropped everything not in Hoenn. The end. Let's go.
Amanita: Oh, pick up Ever on the way?
PEFE!Every: ...Right.
Ever: Hey—
Amanita: YOU—
Amanita: —IDIOT!
-Ever is clutching his nose-
Ever: ...Understandable.
-PEFE!Every, meanwhile, has sent out Xeno and Cytosol, who join Rotary in scanning for Jacob-
Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.
The Flamebringer
Mira: ~Not at all~
Meet The New Boss
Route 114
-Soon, Giselle and Trina emerge from a portal near the Memitos, the former of them quickly joining PEFE!Every's search-
-More are on their way-
Hau'oli Streets
Robin: -clenches his fists- I have to go. Can your Kirila get us to Hoenn Route 114?

Megan: We're fighting something big. Dance up!
Pollen: <Yes!>
Megan: So if we take Tripod there, Speed Swapped, as fast as we can get them...
An orbital jet will still probably be faster. What are we doing?!
Pippy: -Mareepishly, realizing- <I think he meant on the plane...>
Megan: Ah. >_>
Pollen, keep going? We'll still probably need the prep time.
Pollen: <Alright.> -keeps Quivering-
Megan: Yeah, we'll probably survive, the jet's probably equipped for...something approaching that. Unlike a Magnezone without anything resembling high-speed rider friendliness...
Wow, this is not much time to prepare. We should probably read that email...

-A well-dressed man with Staraptor wings walks onto the bridge.-
Ace: "Miss Echo, how long would it take the to pilot the Stormchaser to Hoenn?"
Bryan Sapphire: "...how much do you need?"
Shaun: "All of it."
-Bryan nods solemnly.-
Bryan Sapphire: "I thought so."
-He begins to grab various things. A short while later...-
Bryan: "Give 'em hell, Shaun."
-Shaun looks his dad in the eyes, his own filled with a steely concentration.-
Bryan: "And...Shaun? Be careful. I don't want you coming back in a box."
Shaun: "I won't. That's a promise."
-Lilac walks into the workshop.-
Lilac: "What's he up to?"
Bryan: "You wouldn't like it."
Lilac: "Humor me."
Bryan: "He's going to rescue one of his friends. And kill the demon that screwed our city up a year ago.
Lilac: "..."
-Her face is one of calm rage.-
Lilac: "If he dies, I'll kill him. And you."
Bryan: "Good thing we've written our wills."

Silas nods and turns to the plane, only for the guy in the combat suit to reappear.
"I remembered you. You're coming with."
"Uuuuuuuh... well I'm going to-"
"Mantis. Now."
Mantis cackles and teleports the entire group.
Silas stumbles as they exit the teleport, "You okay Megan?"
Jimmy looks about for the others, "Get prepared."
The Wanderer
Mt. Chimney, last night
-To Channah-
Well I did deal with stuff like that in the Dream World... but hopefully that won't happen again.
Cathedral, yesterday
Ken: -To Vierr- Let's get started, I assume you know the basics?
Mt. Chimney, today
-It turns out that we did indeed camp out on the mountain, albeit a decent distance from the crater-
So, did you wanna try reaching Lavaridge through the Jagged Pass today?
???
Judith: -Cleaning her rifle- We should be joining Giselle and Trina with fighting Chaos.
Wanderer: I want to, we should, but...
Judith: You're afraid that with Chaos' abilities it might get aspects of something the J-Team would find itself unable to defeat.
Wanderer: Precisely. If it gets the aspects of our kind of demon or something they're fucked without legendary intervention.
Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.
Hoenn Route 114
Titanium and M. Bush arrive via teleportation as well.
Glöckchen is somehow already here and gives a bell ring of greeting.

Megan: bluh
-she shakes her head- Alright, uh, let's try Limit Break, it's probably the time for it.
Pippy: <That's kinda a misnomer if you think about it.>
Megan: I know, but it seemed fitting still.
Vee: <We're probably not gonna finish.>
Megan: I know, but we really need everything we've got.
-to Silas- Are we headed out, or do we sit here and prepare?

"We'll meet up with the Team and formula-"
Silas recognizes one person. "Jean?"
Silas walks over, "Jean what are you doing here?"

F!Robin looks woozy, sitting down. "That was... an experience."

-Scanning for Jacob, there are very very faint and fast fading signs of life further west, along the slopes of Mt. Chimney that Xeno, Cytosol, Rotar, Giselle, and Trinay manage to pick up-
"If there is no way to win, I will simply force a way."

Grima: -dizzily- Wheeee~
Robin: ...It was.
Arika: Hi Ro- why are there three of you?
Jean: ...Captain Silas? You here to kill an abomination too? Why am I not suprised.
-she grins, then shakes her head-
Anyway I was tagging along with Jared here.
Jared: Time to avenge... Who's the guy that got finely chopped again? Kinda looked like that Verax dude.

Megan: Um, okay.

"Megan meet my Stealth Fighter from the Cobalt Stars. Jean. As for me Jean, of course."
Silas lets Hacks out, ~Okay not cool.~
"As for the Abomination, We're getting the victim out of this."
~I think that's Jacob.~
"Huh... what the hell happened to cause him that?"
Jimmy spoke up, "We'll find out soon enough."
Dunsparce Cloud
Cytosol: <Found him! He's to the west!>
PEFE!Every: We have to go! Rotary!
Ever: Wait! PEFE!Every, this has "trap" written all over it.
PEFE!Every: Ever, we can't let him die. I already failed him once, I—
Ever: We have to be smart about this.
Brie: Some of us teleport. The rest fly.
Ever: Huh?
Brie: If Chaos is guarding the body, it'll spring the trap whenever anyone gets there. If one of us can hold it off until the rest get here, we can blindside it.
PEFE!Every: Perfect. Who's going?
Brie: I—
Ever: I will.
Brie: Wait, what?
Ever: ...I failed him too. Least I can do is try and help out now. PEFE!Every?
PEFE!Every: Right.

You're shivering. Are you afraid?
-Mezzo is here, sword drawn-
Mezzo: All right, where is he? I'm gonna throw my whole collection at him if I have to.
Do not fear power... fear those who wield it.
-After some consideration, Blitz has appeared in a tree in human form with a Natu on his shoulder-
Blitz: ''Right... Considering what I can remember of my memories, we're not sticking around to fight. Just, make sure someone grabs what's left of Jacob and gets out of here"

I mean, if Zrone can survive cyborgizing 90% of his body, maybe one of our mad scientists can get Jacob back on his feet. Hopefully
